self-oscillating

the climate on earth has continually changed since it was formed. It's not static. The question is, have humans altered it more than natural phenomena would, and that is the issue open to debate.
I don't think the debate is particularly relevant. If we have the capability to keep our air and our water clean, then we should do it. No debate, just do it. |

It indicates that the people (in power) who are resisting it have something to lose from increased environmental protections, and thus, their opinion has to be taken with a large pinch of salt. It's a competing interest... There's a reason that researchers are supposed to openly declare those. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 05-01-2020 at 09:02 AM. |

How can anyone think otherwise? You don't even need to talk about wildfires or hottest days. You just need to look at what humans are doing.
Part of what causes global warming is increased carbon dioxide. What causes increased CO2? Pouring smoke into the air, fossil fuels, all that kind of thing. What doesn't help is destroying our green spaces, as plants turn CO2 into oxygen. So, not only do "we" keep increasing the amount of CO2 in the air, but also destroy the things that turn it around? Dumb af We need to stop pointlessly destroying our green spaces, but also start to rely on greener forms of energy. Nuclear is probably the cleanest. |

I mentioned nuclear being the current absolute best option we have in another thread recently but it's not a popular opinion. Ironically, the heavy favouring of renewables over nuclear is only prolonging reliance on classic fossil fuels to the point where it'll be too late. Renewable energy is definitely the future but we're not there yet for it to be a viable full replacement. But nuclear has been demonised to the point of being a political hot potato... Governments know its the best option short term, to quickly reduce fossil fuel use until viable "green" tech can meet demand, but voters dislike it so... |

Can we report Nicky to the environmental protection agency? I'm feeling a bit warm today and it's January. It's his impact.

Anyone that doesn't is an absolute fool that disregards facts they can't handle. Cllimate change is real, it's not a debate.

Man made climate change
the climate always changes every year and over long periods like the ice age 10,000 years ago or the 17th Century winters where the THames regularly froze over and Frost fairs were held Its should be addressed as man made climate change as that is the specific issue and not climate change on its own Last edited by LeatherTrumpet; 05-01-2020 at 12:46 PM. |

See , I do believe the earth's orbit of the sun is speeding up and years mean nothing now..however I think we should stop chopping down the rainforest and reduce our plastic consumption. Cause of the danger to wildlife.
But I honestly believe that it's all down to the earth spinning gradually faster round the sun each year. |

There are definitely natural changes in the climate that have been happening since the beginning of time but there is obviously a huge amount of problems caused by humans which are unnaturally changing things and need to be handled. Nobody said that the natural ups and downs of temperatures didn't exist. I hope not anyway.
